Dell Powervault
Is there a system within windows where you can “mount” a storage array to a server (2003 / 2008 etc)?
And have it appear as a drive on the “my computer” area of windows ??
i.e if i had a windows 2008 server, could i mount a dell powervault md 3000 ( http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pvaul_md3000?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&l=en&s=bsd ) and have it appear under “my computer” as a new drive or would i need linux to achieve the same effect.
I’m not sure how the Dell Powervault works specifically, but if it runs standard SMB, it should be simple enough to map as a network drive, and have it appear in my computer as F: or G: or whatever drive you assign it. Or, if it connects directly to the server via USB/iSCSI you might be able to add it to the Windows file system as a mount point (as long as you are running NTFS, and its not clustered).
Go to Computer Management > Disk Management > Initialize Disk if the disk is not already initialized > Highlight the disk and select ‘Change drive letters & paths’ > Add > ‘Mount in the following empty NTFS folder’. The new drive will now appear as a folder in your file system. Volume mount points are transparent to programs!
